    This is a great, reasonably priced, true vintage store, specializing in midcentury (50s - 70s) clothing. There is a broad selection of dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes & purses (my personal fave!), and a pretty substantial men's section as well. I stopped in recently and got a fantastic, perfectly fitting top for only $22. (Most items are under $50, and have never seen a price tag over $100 here)

    The store is spacious, well organized, and all of their items are in mint condition (many with original tags still on). A previous reviewer noted that this store is not like your usual 'claustrophobic' vintage stores in Manhattan - you could take that as either a plus or minus depending on your personal taste.

    Personally, I can appreciate the owner's obvious attention for detail in the curation & organization of the shop. Since the location is a little off the beaten path, there are definitely still some hidden gems (& great deals) to be uncovered here (they're just hanging neatly on a rack, and not under a giant mound of stuff like some other shops!). I'll be back for sure!

    This is a super cute little shop!
    mid 20th century clothing, collectables and accessories at super cheap prices!
    It's a small shop that looks a little sparse, but they make up for it with good taste, quality, and prices.  about 1/3 of it reminded me of my favorite vintage shop ever, the other 1/3 is stuff I already own, and the last 1/3 stuff is stuff I wanna own!
    really great '50's bowls for $15 or less (I'd see the same thing usually for $25+)
    cute vintage dresses with great quality. No rips stains etc all for $20 or less.
    seriously, an amazing shop, kinda in the middle of nowhere, but worth the trek over there.

    Maybe it is because I'm used to the warmly claustrophobic vintage stores that grace Manhattan ... digging my way around a fabric maze ... but every time I wander into Bopkat I feel kind of unsatisfied.
    Don't get me wrong, this shop displays a respectable collection of mid-century coats and dresses and some pretty pieces of pottery from the same time frame, but I just miss the challenge.

    Amazing bag finds. You can find anything in your price range from $100 to no more than $120. I vow that every week or so I will buy something from there because it is just that precious. The poodle 1950's woven bag I bought has received so many compliments. Love this store worth the travel
